hybrid 1043 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 looks pretty sweet man ... nice work! Its a single mass flywheel,pressure plate and clutch setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 Yep looking forward to swapping it over from the filthy dualmass. The flywheel only ways 5.9kg which is still safe engine wise. D1 clutch plate, oem M3 pressure plate. All bolts, bearings etc included all for a very sharp price from our forum sponcer NZAD. Darren is a top notch guy to deal with.

tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Removed the m30 from e30 project car. Intend to replace with 84 m20b20 engine with 87 m20b20 intake and electrics. Any reason this wouldn't work? Intend to turn it back into a reliable daily to give to a family member. Edited January 19, 2013 by tcbaurpower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtgts300kw 90 Report post Posted January 19, 2013 Took the air vents outand gave them a good clean. Probably the first time in 25 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 19, 2013 Look it for one last test run, unfortunately 2nd gear is conclusively out of action ( must have been abused before the car in Japan was broken down for parts) so Ill start removing the original box tonight. In the meantime I took a short clip of the new exhaust, this is with the exhaust bank valve closed (true dual) and rear exhaust outlet valves open. Not too bad, but sounds amazing under load. http://youtu.be/tWA_ANB0RIs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being violent on the clutch out of the box or slipping it in the first 500ks will cause bad glazing and in a lot of cases cause the clutch to start slipping. Again its totally subjective with what materials your clutch itself is made from. OEM clutches are a lot softer and can handle being abused a bit more from the outset. Something like a organic/carbon comp or metal comp cant. It will just glaze/score the surface of the flywheel side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If by violent you mean doing clutch dumpys and such things then i totally agree with you, but i wouldnt do that on a "run in" clutch either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted January 20, 2013 took it for a strop(hardly) over the hill to see the Wings over Wairarapa Air Show.Last time(on this occasion) that the DH mosquito fly s in NZ.Awesome job they have done but there still noting like a single merlin passing overhead with a bit of boost on.

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted January 20, 2013 If by violent you mean doing clutch dumpys and such things then i totally agree with you, but i wouldnt do that on a "run in" clutch either. pretty much.. but worse is riding the clutch too much. its just heats up and scores/melts bits into the flywheel and pressure plate clamp areas. Saw one the other day where someone had done this and wrecked it. I took care being a little anal about my bed in process and its the best thing I could of done. It rewards me with a sh*t ton of bite. When my clutch heats up it because very bitey, Almost gets into the hard to drive catagory. But not quite.

Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 20, 2013 So what's the trick? We don't when we fit clutches but that's all oem stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
